BROMSGROVE residents went the extra mile for charity on Sunday, (March 23).

More than 160 people took part in the Bromsgrove mile, one of a number of Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile events held nationally to raise money for the charity.

There were one, three and six mile challenges around the Ryland Centre track, and the event proved a massive success.

One participant, eight-year-old Christina De Sousa, completed a mile and managed to raise an impressive £173.50.

All the money raised goes to Sport Relief which carries out various charity work including helping give shelter to young people living on the streets of the UK, and supporting people abroad by providing life-saving vaccines and fresh water.
